About “Two Headed Boy”

Two Headed Boy is an example of Jeff Mangum’s brilliant writing on Neutral Milk Hotel’s sophomore album, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.

The lyrics most directly alludes to Anne Frank’s isolation while in hiding from the Nazis, though, in the form of allegory, it can also be said to carry across Mangum’s growing feeling of regret after the success of Neutral Milk Hotel.

Mangum’s writing deliberately allows for many interpretations. For a notable interpretation that is different from the ones addressed here, click here.
